+
+ Eliminate sluggishness and hangs in fontification of "semicolon
+ deserts".
+
+ * progmodes/cc-engine.el (c-state-nonlit-pos-interval): change
+ value 10000 -> 3000.
+ (c-state-safe-place): Reformulate so it doesn't stack up an
+ infinite number of wrong entries in c-state-nonlit-pos-cache.
+ (c-determine-limit-get-base, c-determine-limit): New functions to
+ determine backward search limits disregarding literals.
+ (c-find-decl-spots): Amend commenting.
+ (c-cheap-inside-bracelist-p): New function which detects "={".
+
+ * progmodes/cc-fonts.el
+ (c-make-font-lock-BO-decl-search-function): Give a limit to a
+ backward search.
+ (c-font-lock-declarations): Fix an occurrence of point being
+ undefined. Check additionally for point being in a bracelist or
+ near a macro invocation without a semicolon so as to avoid a
+ fruitless time consuming search for a declarator. Give a more
+ precise search limit for declarators using the new
+ c-determine-limit.
